Blatter wants to scrap penalty shootouts

A corner shootout? Teams take it in turns having a corner, swap over when ball goes out of play/out of the attacking half.

Just popped in my head, haven't really thought it through :lol:

An idea that keeps with traditions of football is to add up the squad numbers of the starting XI, lowest total wins. If a tie, include subs bench. It still somehow a tie, captains play rock, paper, scissors.
 
After extra time keep taking one player off each team every five minutes, keep going until someone scores

After injury time remove EVERY player who has been yellow carded and is still on the pitch AND remove a player for every yellow carded player who's been previously subbed. Also make the keepers play in clown shoes.
 
Sepp Blatter wants penalty shoot-out alternative

Fifa president Sepp Blatter has asked Bayern Munich honorary president Franz Beckenbauer to come up with an alternative to the "tragedy" of penalty shoot-outs.

Beckenbauer is head of the Football Task Force 2014, a group designed to recommend rule changes.

"Football can be a tragedy when you go to penalty kicks," Blatter said.
"Football should not go to one to one. When it goes to penalty kicks football loses its essence."

Just after an English team has won the Champions League on penalties, what a coincidence. :lol:

Anyone have any ideas for alternatives?

The team what can inflict the most damage on Blatters face in 5 minutes
 
I have not read this whole thread as its far too long and frankly I don't have the time, but I will be amazed if someone has not replied with something along the lines of the following;

I don't like Blatter, but this is the first time I can say that I actually agree with him.

Your team battles through 5 rounds of a tough cup competition and gets to the final. They play a good game and draw 1-1 after extra time. Why not just have a replay?

Remember them? They were the things that happened after nobody won.

If you win a cup it should be through beating the other team in a football match, not drawing with them and then scoring 1 extra penalty.

Extra time of 10 mins each way

If still level then take two players off each team and play next goal the winner. Every 5 mins remove another player from each team

That's not proper football though and it would be likely to lead to injuries as tired players tried to cover ever increasing areas of the pitch.

I would rather just keep playing more periods of extra time.

Just leave it as it is, the bloke is a complete twat.

If they had done that in the first place, none of us would have ever seen a penalty shoot out.
 
The first penalty shoot out in England was in 1970 and that was in the Watney Cup. They never came into the FA Cup until 1991-92.

Its a relatively new idea and not a good one in my view. Lets go back to a better time when a drawn game was decided by another football match played over 90 minutes. Its a novel idea I know, but it might just catch on.

Try organizing a replay for the champions league/world cup final. Penalties are perfectly fine as they are.

Hold the finals in the afternoon.

The first replay can be held the same evening, and then you can hold up to three, even four, replays the next day if necessary.

Let them sweat for their medals.
 
5 offense v 4 defense + a keeper either end playing heads and vollys first team to score 10 wins + if the keeper catches it counts as a goal for his team. Sorted.

The police objected to the 'Golden Goal' as they didn't know exactly when the match was going to end, and therefore couldn't be prepared.

Surely a good idea would be to constantly be prepared? Lazy bastards the police like.
